DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary
embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are
illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood
that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and
functional changes may be made without departing from the
respective scope of the invention. As such, the following
description is presented by way of illustration only and should not
limit in any way the various alternatives and modifications that
may be made to the illustrated embodiments and still be within the
spirit and scope of the invention.
[0037] As used herein, the words "example" and "exemplary" mean an
instance, or illustration. The words "example" or "exemplary" do
not indicate a key or preferred aspect or embodiment. The word "or"
is intended to be inclusive rather an exclusive, unless context
suggests otherwise. As an example, the phrase "A employs B or C,"
includes any inclusive permutation (e.g., A employs B; A employs C;
or A employs both B and C). As another matter, the articles "a" and
"an" are generally intended to mean "one or more" unless context
suggest otherwise.
[0038] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of storage and display unit
10 consisting of base unit 20 and cover or lid unit 30. As seen in
FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, base unit 20 includes a plurality of slots 22
formed for receiving cards, name tags, and other printed materials
having sufficient rigidity to be displayed in an upright (i.e.,
orthogonal to the base unit, as defined by axis V) or near-vertical
(i.e., approximately +/-30 degrees from upright) position. The
slots 22 can be regularly formed in one or more rows, with the
three rows each having a plurality of aligned slots therein forming
a regular matrix on the base 20 (as shown in FIG. 1).
[0039] As seen best in FIG. 2, the slots 22 are formed as
indentations in the relatively smooth top surface of the base 20.
In some embodiments, the slots 22 are identically formed, as
V-shaped grooves. The sloping sides of the slot 22 may serve to
align the object held in the grown at the aforementioned upright or
near-vertical angles. Preferably, one side may be orthogonal to the
horizontal surface on the top facing of the base 20, while the
other side of the groove forms the near-vertical angle (i.e.,
greater than 1.degree., approximately 5.degree., and less than
30.degree., with any whole integer or combination of two integers
between these upper and lower limits expressly disclosed). The
lowermost depression of each slot 22 may include a narrow floor 23
having a surface effectively parallel to the horizontal top surface
of the base 20 in which the slot 22 is formed. The open spacing of
this narrow floor may mirror the expected thickness of the badge,
card, or object expected to be placed in the slots 22.
[0040] The inset in FIG. 2 is taken along line A-A to illustrate
one possible cross sectional arrangement for each slot 22. Notably,
protrusions 24 define a parallel surface for engaging and holding
(by way of friction, as one example) an object inserted into the
slot. Further, because the protrusions are formed at an angle
relative to axis V, the held object (not shown) will be displayed
at an angle to improve the visibility of the objects. As described
below, a plurality of protrusions on the opposing sidewalls of slot
22 can be employed to secure hold a variety of differently sized
objects (although the objects are all expected to have a similar
range of thicknesses).
[0041] In some embodiments, the depth (i.e., the distance from
floor 23 to the top edge defining the opening of the slot) of each
slot 22 is similar. In some aspects, the depth of one or groups of
slots may vary to allow for an elevated presentation of cards held
at the back edge of the base 20, thereby further improving the
visibility of objects. Additionally or alternatively, the angles of
one or both sides of the slot may vary from slot to slot within a
row and/or within the overall matrix, once again with an eye toward
creating a varied visual presentation.
[0042] Some or all of the slots 22 may have one or more
inner-facing protrusions 24, designed and positioned to engage
items inserted into the slot and hold those items in an upright or
near-vertical position for display purposes. Ideally, the slots 22
and/or protrusions cooperate to hold a plurality of items in a
parallel and near-vertical orientation, with a presentation angle
of 5.degree. for the held card, badge, or object being preferred.
Alternatively, the protrusions 24 on one or both sides of the
V-shaped slot 22 may be aligned parallel to the side(s) on which it
is formed, or the protrusions may angle away from or diminish into
the side(s) so as to be aligned parallel at cooperating or offset
angles to protrusions formed on the opposing side, thereby creating
the final presentation angle.
[0043] As best seen in FIG. 4A, the protrusions 24 formed on
opposing side walls of the V-shaped slot may be spaced apart at
adjacent or staggered intervals. Particularly to the extent the
slope of the sidewalls differs, the protrusions on one wall may be
larger/more prominent than those on the opposing wall. Also, to the
extent an offset arrangement is provided (as shown by the three
protrusions on the inner region I), these protrusions may engage
card or objects of a different length than standard sized cards
fitted into the pair of adjacent protrusions on the outer edges of
each slot 22.
[0044] The bottom facing of the base 20 is flat and substantially
parallel to the horizon. Further, around its peripheral edges, a
series of downward projecting walls provides sufficient elevation
to accommodate the depth of the deepest slot, while simultaneously
ensuring the base 20 rests firmly, preferably in flat orientation
relative to the horizontal surface. In some embodiments, the height
of the sidewalls are all similar, so as to define a bottom surface
that is parallel the top surface. Alternatively, the top surface
may have a slightly curved surface from front-to-back and/or from
one side edge to the other side edge. The length LB may be between
14 and 18 inches, with 16.4 inches being preferred. The height HB
may be between 0.25 and 1.25 inches, with 0.70 inches being
preferred.
[0045] A peripheral flange 26 may be formed around the outer edge
of the base unit 20. Flange 26 is shaped to receive a corresponding
integral engagement member located on the lid unit 30, as will be
described more completely below. The flange 26 and underside of the
base unit 20 are substantially flat so as to stabilize the display
unit 10 for display on flat surfaces, as well as enable the
stacking and easy transportation of a number of a plurality of
display units 10. Thumb or grasping cutaways may be provided
proximate to the flange 26 to allow for users to more easily
separate the base 20 from the lid 30. Support ribs or grooves (not
shown) may also be provided along the bottom, top, and/or sides of
the base unit 20. The nominal width FW of the flange may be between
0.10 and 0.40 inches, with 0.25 inches being preferred.
[0046] FIG. 4C shows an alternative structure for base 20B in which
structural support ribs 25 are interspersed with the matrix of
slots 22. Ribs 25 may be provided at regular intervals and run
parallel to the slots along the length or width of the base 20.
Additionally or alternatively, the ribs 25 could be oriented
orthogonally between matrix columns (i.e., the vertical orientation
of the slots as seen in FIG. 4C). In one embodiment, the number of
ribs is no more than one third the number of rows (i.e., the
horizontal orientation of the slots as seen in FIG. 4C). The ribs
25 may be indented and include protrusions (not visible in FIG. 4C)
to effectively serve as object-holding slots within the matrix. In
some embodiments where the slots 22 and ribs 25 (if present) are
parallel as seen in FIG. 5B, these slots 22 and ribs 25 are
preferably oriented orthogonally relative to any ribs provided on
the top of the cover 30, so as to provide a stable cross-base when
the unit 10 is assembled (i.e., the base 20 and cover 30 are
engaged), although the same holds true even if ribs 25 are not
provided as seen in FIG. 1.
[0047] As seen in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5A, cover or lid unit 30
possesses a similar shape in comparison to the base unit,
preferably rectangular in nature. The cover 30 includes a plurality
of side walls 32 with terminal ends including corresponding
engagement member(s) that may snap-fit onto the base unit 20,
preferably along one or more portions of the peripheral flange 26.
In fact, the terminal ends may form a partial or fully continuous
flange LF on the cover that cooperates and/or engages with flange
26. Optional indents LI can be formed along the top of the cover
30, preferably proximate to the corner(s) at a vertical depth of
between 0.40 and 0.90 inches, with 0.72 inches being preferred.
[0048] The width of flange LF cooperates with and is equal to or
less than FW, with the preferred width LF being 0.19 inches. In
turn, the length of the lid LL corresponds to that of the base LB,
with 16.388 inches preferred. Finally, the height of the lid LH
should accommodate the objects carried within the slots. Height LH
may be between 2 and 6 inches, with 3.99 inches preferred.
[0049] The opposing ends of side walls 32 (i.e., the portions
distal to the base unit 20 when the base 20 and lid 30 are
attached) are integrally formed onto (or otherwise attached to) a
top surface 34 of the cover 30. The top 34 may possess the same
shape as the base 20, with grooves, ribs, and/or indentions 36 to
provide both strength, possible points of engagement in the event
multiple display units 10 were stacked one on top of the other,
and/or decorative or aesthetic features. One or more carrying
handles (not shown) may be provided to the top 34, although
provision of such handles should coincide with sufficient
engagement members or separate closure or locking devices to ensure
that the base unit 20 and lid unit 30 do not inadvertently and/or
unwantedly become separated. Any corners formed by the side walls
32 may also incorporate similar grooves, ribs, and/or indentations
36. As above, the portions of the side walls 32 engaging the base
unit 20 may also have thumb or grasping cutaways (not shown).
[0050] FIG. 5B shows an alternative embodiment of the cover 30B in
which additional indentations are provided for enhanced strength.
As with cover 30, cover 30B includes support a plurality of support
ribs 36A, 36B. These ribs are subdivided into sets having similar
size and shape but that are offset from one another, with ribs 36A
being spaced apart from the bottom flange LF while ribs 36B may be
integrated with or adjacent to flange LF. While only shown on the
two opposing, narrow edges in FIG. 5B, it is understood this
approach can be taken along any or all of the side walls 32, as
well as at the corners/edges. Also, only one set of ribs 36A or 36B
would run along all or substantially all of the cover height LH,
and it is possible for both sets to be less than that full
height.
[0051] Ideally, the ribs 36A and 36B are spaced apart at regular
intervals, and the overall set form by ribs 36A and 36B are also
arranged in a regular and preferably evenly distributed and/or
symmetrical manner (relative to the side wall on which they are
located). The sets can have the same or differing numbers of ribs
36A, 36B relative to each set. Notably, the offset of the sets of
ribs provides particular utility both for engagement and support.
The ribs 36A, 36B may have a ellipse-like or parabolic U-shape with
a curving indentation relative to the planar surface formed by the
side wall 32. Additionally or alternatively, all or portions of the
ribs may define a more traditional straight edged line or polygon.
Oscillating or irregular curves may also be provided. The
individual shape of the ribs 36A, 36B may vary, even within the set
of ribs, so long as the entirety of the ribs 36A, 36B cooperate
with the other indentations and flanges forming part of the unit 10
to achieve the functions described and contemplated herein.
[0052] When the cover 30B is engaged with the base 20, as shown in
the top right hand aspect of FIG. 5B, it functions the same as the
other covers 30 described and depicted herein. Further, because the
flanges 26, LF are designed to engage securely, the added support
provided by the indentations 36A, 36B enable more secure stacking
as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B below.
[0053] The cover 30 to the base 20 may be disengaged to allow for
the cover to be discarded when the unit 10C when it is placed in
its final display orientation, as shown in FIG. 7B. Alternatively,
the base 20 may nest or fit on the top 34 of the cover 30 (i.e.,
the cover 30 is place on the horizontal surface with the base 20
being placed on the cover 30 of a separate unit, as seen with units
10 and 10A in FIG. 7A, so as to provide more compact storage of
multiple units. As seen with unit 10B, the base 20 of unit 10B may
attach to its own cover 30 (again when laid flat beneath it) to
serve as an elevated display for the unit 10B. In some embodiments,
the indentations or other structures formed on the cover 30 (or
30B) engage the flange 26, possibly along its underside, in order
to make a more secure nested or even snap-fitted connection. Also,
FIGS. 6 and 7A show arrangements that are particularly suitable to
transporting one or more display units 10 after they have been
loaded with cards or other objects arranged in a matrix and
provided in various angles for storage and display.
[0054] The support ribs 36 should be evenly distributed along the
surfaces on which they are formed. These ribs 36 ensure that the
cover 30 retains its structural integrity. Similar ribs can be
formed on the base unit 20 for a similar purpose. The ribs 36,
indents LI, and/or flanges 26, LF can all cooperate in a
snap-fitted or nesting manner to secure the components of the unit
10 together. Further, when the base unit 20 is opened for display
of the objects carried in its slots 22, the unit 20 may rest, nest,
or engage the cover 30 to create an elevated display. In this
manner, a plurality of units 10 can be aligned side-by-side to
create a stadium-viewing effect.
[0055] Note that the height of the sidewalls 32 should be
sufficient to accommodate and, more specifically, enclose the
cards, badges, objects, etc. held on the interior of the base 20
when the cover 30 is fitted thereon. In this manner, the display
unit 10 may be loaded with objects, transported, and set up for
display by simply removing the cover 30. Further, the protrusions
24 create sufficient friction and/or have sufficiently narrow
spacing so as to hold the objects even if the base is tipped or
even completely inverted.
[0056] In addition to the described structures, handle-like indents
may be formed on the base 20 and corresponding cover. Further,
posts or grooves to facilitate stacking of a plurality of similar
items in their unassembled state (e.g., a plurality of bases) could
be employed.
[0057] FIG. 6 shows an alternative arrangement for unit 10. Here,
the slots are provided in a "portrait" orientation (relative to the
rectangular base), in contrast to the "landscape" orientation shown
in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. Other arrangements for the slots are
possible, and the slots need not all be provided in a parallel
manner, although for base units having right angles, the parallel
orientation of slots is most likely to use the available volume of
the unit 10 efficiently.
[0058] Other structures and features may be discerned from the
attached drawings. By way of example rather than limitation, these
features may include dimensions and relative proportions and/or
ratios of the various components. In the same manner, certain
ornamental features may augment the utilitarian functions of the
disclosure.
[0059] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been
illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described in the
